Nothing from Porsche UK as I have no way of asking them but heard the same from 3 dealers here.

Jealous of what exactly? Sales in the UK have been lacklustre, the high cost and lease rates (due to poor residual values) are the big factors here, plus people don't seem too bothered by the new Macan. It does well in test-drives but not translating to sales.

Maybe in the US.

Almost. im looking forward to my current shitbox iX3 going back so I can then (potentially) choose which EV to get next. Once the iX3 goes, I’ll get a diesel or maybe a PHEV and see what is there that I like in the EV market - Cayenne, iX5 for example. if nothing, then I’ll keep the diesel lease.

Waiting for the new iX3 to come out and then decide.

Get that, but it (Macan at least) looks like crap. For a number of reasons, I’ve not yet decided if I want the Macan and I have the time to wait and see what to do.

What’s with the bloody coupes? Macan EV would be a lot better looking if it wasn’t the crappy coupe shape.

Ouch! I didn’t know the detail, just heard about it. Personally I’d avoid it anyway as don’t trust Porsche to have this work reliably and/or when it breaks it will be a bitch to repair!

The new Taycans have a capability to raise the car height when getting in/out but it’s not free of course! Still, there are plenty of other reasons to skip the Taycan.

I’m really trying to like the rear of the car. Currently I’m on “the front of the iX, in a dark colour” is nicer than the back of the Macan EV.

Haven’t ordered the car yet (and still may not), but checking to see if small features like this that make a difference are there.

Is there a way to reduce HUD (and centre console) brightness - I often drive on unlit motorways/major roads and can make the displays dimmer on my BMW. Not good for keeping night vision if you have a big bright display and it’s tiring to have a bright display in your line of sight.

I can see myself not bothering with the Macan EV when my current lease ends, disappointing.

My iX3 does the same, perhaps the power used can only from the battery and not the charger direct. My BMW does charge though during the heating/pre-conditioning.

No way that’s Ice Grey.

The more I read on this forum, the more I am glad I don’t need to order a replacement car just yet. I really want the Macan, hopefully the ‘26 models will have all this shite fixed.

Who will actually buy one though - they only make sense for company purchasers and most of these will be salary sacrifice.

I’m more concerned about it being stuck for ice or some other failure. Not keen on taking a screwdriver to it and potential damage to the paintwork when you are applying force blindly. Fine if the service guys do it, they can pay for any damage!

Is there a safe way to force the door open if it’s stuck? I’d like the power door option but only if you can force it open without breaking.

I stayed at the HGI when we had the Porsche marketing test drive at the Experience Centre. More expensive but really convenient.
